007: John Hughes – Author of “Unselling” and Founder of Gnu Talent

This week I interview John Hughes, the author of “Unselling” and the Founder and Managing Partner of Gnu Talent. Gnu Talent is based in the Seattle area and is focused exclusively on recruiting technology leaders for their clients for positions such as CIO and CTO.

We discuss John’s journey from corporate technology manager to founding his own firm. Along the way John decided to write Unselling, part personal memoir, part advice and best practices for starting a consulting practice.
